Recently out of the blue, and it's never happened before, while using voice to text, while messaging someone, I dictated the words, "the day", And Google voice typing or messenger interpreted it, and typed it out as "Sutter" (Strangely, my medical facility)

I have also tested this using gmail, texting with different messengers, and in different forums, with the same results, So I am fairly convinced that the culprit is Google voice typing.
Also noteworthy, is the fact that if I add punctuation using voice typing, after saying " The day." Likes peaking out period or a comma, It will accurately type what I have spoken, and won't interpret "The day" as "Sutter" and It only happens when I don't punctuate it.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

My voice typing has been annoyingly inaccurate recently over the past maybe month or two. I have all those things checked, including the assistant voice typing. What does that do that might make it more inaccurate? I have no accent, FYI.

Yeah you do, everyone has an accent.

Pretty sure Assistant voice typing adds punctuation automatically.

Ok. Let me try again... I speak normal American midwestern English with no foreign accent, deep southern accent, deep New Yawk or Bawston accents. No accents that might confuse the phone. :rolleyes:

You can toggle auto punctuation on and off as shown in the pic above.
